WASHINGTON (AP) — Soon after a train derailed and spilled toxic chemicals in Ohio last month, anonymous pro-Russian accounts started spreading misleading claims and anti-American propaganda about it on Twitter, using Elon Musk’s new verification system to expand their reach while creating the illusion of credibility.

And of course

“Biden offers food, water, medicine, shelter, payouts of pension and social services to Ukraine! Ohio first! Offer and deliver to Ohio!” posted one of the pro-Moscow accounts, which boasts 25,000 followers and features an anonymous location and a profile photo of a dog. Twitter awarded the account a blue check mark in January.

But the funniest bit is that the Russians are all mad about being called out.

The AP reached out to several of the accounts listed in Reset’s report. In response, one of the accounts sent a two-word message before blocking the AP reporter on Twitter: “Shut up.”

Ru$$ia has enough on its hands with its illegal invasion of Ukraine. They need to leave us alone, too.

Gentlemen, we have interfered, are interfering and will interfere,” Prigozhin said last fall on the eve of the 2022 midterm elections in the U.S. “Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do,” Prigozhin said at the time.

This is yet another reason I say we arm the Ukrainians to the teeth, and add more general sanctions on Russia.

The sale of "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" t-shirts on TruthSocial should go up over this.

But seriously, Republicans have become very easy to manipulate all the way from Moscow. Those things became Republican talking points everywhere from FoxNews to the floor of Congress.

Train disaster was because of Trump era de-regulation.

I'm not sure they're in the same category.

Not to mention this just happened...

So Russia is derailing the discussion and railroading us.





Go ahead. Shame me. I'll understand.

Getting rid of caboose is probably not the same thing as Trump era deregulation.

No.

Brake Rule Would Not Have Applied​

In a Feb. 16 Twitter thread, the chair of the federally independent National Transportation Safety Board, Jennifer Homendy, explained that the Obama rule the Trump administration rolled back would not have applied to that particular Norfolk Southern train.

Pro-Moscow voices tried to steer Ohio train disaster debate​

It seems that in the last six or seven years the so called "Pro-Moscow voices" have received enough funding to amplify their reach into the United States to resemble a PA bullhorn in every room of every building and every home in the country.
Gee, I wonder how much that must have cost and who's been footing the bill.

Hmmn, in such circumstances, when you don't know who to believe, don't rule for the liar.

Fake news as far as I'm concerned.

OMG -- now complaints about Biden's poor response to the Ohio toxic train derailment is somehow the work of Putin?

WTF is wrong with you people? Every screw-up, they have to go looking for some scapegoat.

1) "It's all Trump's fault!"
2) "Trump did it first, so it doesn't matter"
3) "Putin's fault"

Perhaps you should read the article.

Hard to tell the difference nowadays, yeah.

You really need to put the brakes on with bad puns before this thread goes off the rail. Please stay on track

That pretty much covers it. Biden, the worst President in history, can do nothing wrong. It's always someone else's fault. People that vote for this guy are in such a deep state of denial, they don't even think about his screw ups. They quickly declare that the blame lies anywhere, but with him, and will vote us right off the cliff, without a second thought, if they ever even have a thought.
